We formulate a new method of performing high-temperature series expansions for the spin-half Heisenberg model or, more generally, for SU($n$) Heisenberg model with arbitrary $n$. The new method is a novel extension of the well-established…

We survey the recent progress in the study of heat kernels for a class of non-symmetric non-local operators. We focus on the existence and sharp two-sided estimates of the heat kernels and their connection to jump diffusions.

We prove qualitatively sharp heat kernel bounds in the setting of Fourier-Bessel expansions when the associated type parameter $\nu$ is half-integer. Moreover, still for half-integer $\nu$, we also obtain sharp estimates of all kernels…

We analyze the heat kernel associated to the Laplacian on a compact metric graph, with standard Kirchoff-Neumann vertex conditions. An explicit formula for the heat kernel as a sum over loops, developed by Roth and Kostrykin, Potthoff, and…

We consider a quantum graph where the operator contains a potential. We show that this operator admits a heat kernel. Under some assumptions on the potential, this heat kernel admits an asymptotic expansion at t=0 with coefficients that…
